Alabama (January 11, 1861), Georgia (January 19, 1861), Louisiana (January 26, 1861), and Texas (February 1, 1861). Lincoln was not even on the ballot in nine states in the South. Many Leaders from South Carolina had extended been waiting for an occasion that might unite the South against the anti-slavery forces. As soon as the election returns have been particular, a special South Carolina convention declared "that the Union now subsisting in between South Carolina and other states under the name of the 'United States of America' is hereby dissolved." By February 1, 1861, six much more Southern states had seceded. As a result on February 7, the seven states adopted a provisional constitution for the Confederate States of America and established their capital at Montgomery, Alabama. On March four, 1861, significantly less than a month later, Abraham Lincoln was sworn in as President of the United States. He stated on this date that he had no intention to invade southern states, but would use force to sustain possession of federal home. The South, specially South Carolina, ignored this plea by Lincoln, and as a outcome on April 12, the South fired upon the Federal troops there had been stationed at Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina. The firing continued till the troops surrendered. This significant occasion is what many feel was the start off of the American Civial War.
